Nothing more clearly shows how little God esteems his gift to men of wealth, money, position and other worldly goods, than the way he distributes these, and the sort of men who are most amply provided with them.

Summary

This quote suggests that the allocation of wealth, money, and other worldly possessions does not necessarily reflect God's favor or endorsement of individuals. It implies that wealthy and influential people may not necessarily possess the qualities that God values or regards highly. Instead, it implies that God's distribution of such assets may serve a different purpose, perhaps testing character or teaching important lessons. Overall, the quote questions the conventional perception of wealth as a sign of God's blessings and emphasizes the importance of qualities beyond material possessions.
